The rabble rousers at 4chan are creating fake OkCupid profiles in an attempt to create an involuntary flashmob in New York City. It's sad for the potential victims but I gotta admit, sorta funny!

The idea is to use fake OkCupid accounts to tease "forever alone" guys into thinking that someone is interested in them. Once those single and lonely types are hooked, 4chan users will direct them to 46th street and Broadway in Times Square New York at 7:30pm on Friday the 13th in May. It'll be a gathering of single dudes looking for love! Which conveniently, can be watched on a public security camera.

Two tips: single guys should avoid any girl, real or imagined, who wants to meet at that time at that spot. Single girls! You can scope out the scene across the street to see if there are any diamonds in the rough. Also! How poetic would it be if a 4chan user fell for this prank? [Reddit via urlesque via NY Mag]
